What is the compression to ventilation ratio for multiple provider CPR for infants?

The compression to ventilation ratio for multiple provider CPR for infants is 15:2. This ratio is based on guidelines that emphasize the importance of providing effective CPR specifically for infants, where a higher frequency of breaths is needed due to their smaller lung capacity and higher metabolic rate compared to older children and adults.

In a multiple provider scenario, two rescuers can perform CPR more effectively. They can deliver 15 chest compressions followed by 2 breaths, ensuring that the infant receives a sufficient number of compressions while also getting the necessary breaths to help oxygenate the blood.

This approach helps optimize circulation and ventilation, which is critical in the crucial moments of resuscitation. The other ratios, such as 30:2 or the incorrect higher ratios, do not align with the specific needs of infants requiring CPR, emphasizing how different age groups necessitate tailored life support protocols.
